The story you have just read is true. The likenesses have been changed to protect the Cosplayers.

I've been working on this since the end of September. An exhaustive effort, but I really wanted to share this story. It's nice to celebrate a positive event, even on a small scale.

I should note that the real bookmarks I bought don't look like those in this comic. You'll have to take my word that they look awesome. I really debated on what to do. Scanning or tracing them felt like art theft, and so I turned to the members of the MLP Vector Club for inspiration.

Update: Even though this didn't make it on to Equestria Daily, I am still over-the-moon proud of this piece and grateful to all the commentators and people who faved this work. Some people have posted of this on Derpibooru and KnowYourMeme.com, which is pretty rare given that it features an OC. I really appreciate that people are eager to share this work and hopefully folks take away a positive message. Thanks a million!

Early this March, I was one of the organizers of the first Ponicon in our country (Argentina). The con went well, but it was slightly chaotic, I spent the whole day running solving small (and some not-so-small) issues. My own stand was left unattended several times, and some of the other organizers' stands too, since they were helping, presenting the charity auction or some time entertaining people. When the con ended and we started packing things up, I went around checking with the stand owners how it went... One thing several mentioned was that even when they left their posts for over an hour, nothing was missing, nor money nor merchandise. My stand had zero losses too. Being experienced in conventions I know that there is always an expected amount of "items lost"... it's a fact of life. This greatly and pleasantly surprised me... I like to believe that in some level the show has helped people to become better, to fight the dishonesty a little more, that it's really making better people of us all...

what a sweet story! Lovely bookmarks, and great for you! I just love when people are nice enough to do something so simple like this.With all the hate in the world, random acts of kindness are not underappreciated!

Hey I actually went to a con called NDK in the great CO. I went as a sneaky guy (the first day. the others my legs hurt tooo dam much) if you did not see me than it worked! Sneaking is mutch more fun when you do it behind the Amnesia dudes.
